Patton Returns to Spike Wars
by George Ambrose Pell-Mel Patton yesterday announced his return to track and field.
The lithe “world’s fastest human” said his decision to compete in his fourth and final year as a Trojan was prompted by a realization that he wants to make physical education his career.
“I have been working for the Allied-Matrix company for six weeks to see what business in general is like. I like business, but actually know in my heart that I
want to make physical education my life work—I can always come back to business,” Patton said.
More than a month ago Troy’s 100-yard dash world record holder signified his intention of retiring permanently from the cinder sport and at that time went to work for the firm owned by his father-in-law, Ed Kcos.
Return of Patton, who captured the 200-m e t e r championship in the London Olympic Games last
August, virtually assures the Trojans of 20 additional points in the National Collegiate Athletic association track championships to be held in the Coliseum, June 17-18, and re-establishes SC in the role of favorite in the meet which it dominated for nine consecutive years 1935-1939.

Greeks Backed By Chancellor
“Fraternities cannot be explained by illogical syllogisms, but by what fraternity men are on campus,” said Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid, chancellor of the university, last night in a talk at.the Tau Kappa Epsilon house.
The chancellor was speaking in cpposition to the recent articles printed by national magazines in which the conclusion was drawn that fraternities are “wrong”. “If fraternities are wrong,” stressed Chancellor von KieinSmid. “which fraternities are wrong?”
He pointed out that “fraternities in general cannot be judged. That would be like saying theaters are wrong. Are you talking about the Grand or about the stage?”
Fraternity men should sit around and “chat” among themselves more, said the chancellor. In his college days, he added, men would often drop in ocher fraternity houses to talk and “toast their toes over an open fireplace” together. He said he found these get-togethers “helpful and inspiring.” “But.” he laughed to himself, “those were the days before girls would go to the corner drugstore to ge" a coke, and fellows would go to the drugstore to get the girls.”
Works of SC student composers will be presented in Hancock auditorium at 8:30 tomorrow night.

GENERAL FIND EXPANDED
The balance of the proposed increase would be earmarked for the general fund and would make that total S4-900. This fund supports class, school, religious, veterans, and independent councils: Homecoming; and the expenses of the president's office.
The costs of Homecoming events formerly were taken from the ASSC president’s allocation, but it would have a definite fund of $850 under the proposed budget.
The president’s slice would remain at $2250, but this means an increase of $850 since the fund no longer supports Homecoming expenses. Necessary furniture and fixtures for the president’s office would be purchased with the increase.
LAS and Commerce councils would be given $200, doubling their present allocations.
